Great review. I'm new to the cigar scene and I just learned of your reviews and I've been going thru them all just wanted to see what your latest reviews were of. My mouths been watering since I first saw the pre embargo listed in ccom. I can already see I messed up buying a 25 count humidor. Well Christmas isn't too far off. Maybe my wife will get me a 100 count one if I hint enough.
I'm just now having my first Beast. They've been resting for a lil over 5 months so I decided to have a go at one. The draw is very light and as kuzi noted, the flavors seem washed out...nothing stands out. Through the first half the burn has been less than perfect requiring 2 touch-ups. The cap came off and the wrapper has started to unravel a bit. The most notable flavors have been alternating between coffee and hay, with a touch of sweetness and spice.
I've had a couple of the MAXX's. I have to agree with you, nothing wrong with the cigar but uneventful is a good description. Its just boring to me, it would be better suited in a corona size or so. I wouldn't be bored with it half way through then.
